Call for research position at the Nuclear and Astroparticle Physics Group

Call for research position at the Nuclear and Astroparticle Physics Group – Centro de Astropartículas y Física de Altas Energías (CAPA)- Universidad de Zaragoza
1 postdoc position
We are looking excellent and motivated candidates with experimental particle physics background to join the IAXO-UZ group.
The host group at the University of Zaragoza has a leading role in the International Axion Observatory (IAXO) experiment, whose primary aim is the detection of axions emitted by the Sun.
The near-term goal of the collaboration is the construction and operation of BabyIAXO, an intermediate stage to serve as prototype of the final IAXO systems, but already with a relevant physics program in itself.
The five years duration of the project should encompass the construction, commissioning and first physics results of BabyIAXO.
The positions here offered are intended to reinforce the activities of the Zaragoza group for the preparation of the BabyIAXO experiment, which are focused in the development, preparation and characterization of a new low-background Micromegas-based x-ray detector for the focal point of BabyIAXO.

Interested candidates should send their CV, a letter of motivation to:
iaxorecruitment@unizar.es.
In addition, they should arrange for two letters of recommendation to be send to the same address.

More details on the research performed in our group can be found here:

Call

Spanish excellence program for recruitment of senior researchers (Ramón y Cajal, Juan de la Cierva) – call now open!

The Spanish ministry offers an recruitment program with both senior postdoctoral positions (Juan de la Cierva) and tenure-track positions (Ramón y Cajal). Those programs are highly competitive, and offer attractive formulas to get established as a researcher. They are mostly based on the excellence of the candidate’s curriculum, research project and host group. The annual call is now open until the 21st January.

The research groups at CAPA continuously seek excellent candidates interested in joining them to support candidacies to these programs. Please contact us if you are interested.

Postdoctoral contract for IAXO at CAPA

The IAXO group at CAPA invites excellent young researchers with a recent PhD to apply for a 2(+1) years postdoctoral contract now available in the group, funded by the IAXO+ ERC Advanced Grant. The position is addressed to experimental profiles in astroparticle physics, and the candidate is expected to play an important role in the IAXO experiment.

Postdoctoral fellowship in CAPA

The High Energy Theory Group at the Center for Astroparticle and High-Energy Physics of the University of Zaragoza (Spain) invites applications for one postdoctoral fellowship in any of the areas of interest of the group (Cosmology and axion physics, lattice gauge theory, physics beyond the standard model, beyond relativistic field theories, quantum gravity phenomenology). Details are given in the attached document.
